Commercial Lead – Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

£65,000 - £80,000 DOE plus benefits

Are you a commercially driven healthcare leader ready to bring a life-changing cardiac technology to market?

Bluetree is delighted to be working with a fast-growing medical technology business that is redefining how cardiac conditions are detected and managed across UK healthcare settings.

Our client is entering an exciting first commercial phase, having developed an innovative wearable ECG monitoring solution with strong clinical validation. They are now looking for a talented Commercial Lead to join the founding team and drive their go-to-market strategy.

This is a rare opportunity to join at the ground floor of a high-growth MedTech business — with genuine influence, a clear path to senior leadership, and the chance to make a real difference in patient outcomes.

The ideal candidate will be a proven, hands-on sales professional who can hit the ground running, someone with direct experience in the field rather than a purely strategic background. They are looking for an individual who has a strong track record of selling into the private healthcare sector and can build relationships with health insurance companies, private clinics, and procurement teams.

You must have experience of contemporary private health care and service lead diagnostic medical device sales and a strong network of vendors with an understanding of cardiology services in the UK.  You must have worked with the NHS and private healthcare clients and have a strong sales execution background.

Previous experience selling Medtronic devices would be highly advantageous. Candidates must be comfortable with field-based, relationship-driven selling and should expect regular travel to meet clients and close deals. Crucially, they will ideally bring an established network of contacts within the target customer base, enabling them to generate results from day one.

The Role

As Commercial Lead, you will be the driving force behind early sales and business development. Working directly alongside the founders and clinical team, you will open conversations with healthcare providers, secure pilot programmes, convert early customers and shape how the business sells, prices and positions its product.

This role blends business development, go-to-market strategy and customer discovery — it suits someone who thrives on building from scratch.

Key Responsibilities

Sales & Business Development

• Identify and engage target customers across NHS trusts, private healthcare providers, clinics and insurers
• Build relationships with clinical leads, procurement teams and senior decision-makers
• Lead sales conversations from first contact through to pilot and contract
• Design and run pilot programmes that demonstrate clinical and commercial value
• Convert pilots into paid commercial agreements
• Experience selling medical devices as opposed to services
• Experience within the cardiology sector, ideally irhythm or Medtronic cardiology

Go-to-Market Strategy

• Help define target segments, buyer personas and priority use cases
• Test and refine messaging, value propositions and pricing models
• Feed customer insight back into product development and roadmap decisions
• Develop clear, compelling sales materials including decks, one-pagers and case studies

Partnerships & Market Presence

• Explore and establish partnerships with healthcare organisations, digital health platforms and insurers
• Represent the business at relevant industry events and conferences

Commercial Enablement

• Support the creation of clinical and commercial content (case studies, webinars, thought leadership)
• Help define what future sales and marketing hires will need to succeed
• Provide commercial insight and revenue reporting to the leadership team

• Confidence engaging clinicians, medical professionals and senior stakeholders
• Proven ability to open doors and progress complex, consultative sales conversations
• A self-starter mindset and comfort operating in an early-stage, fast-moving environment
